<strong>L&rsquo;errore del 2005</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Si avvicinano le elezioni dipartimentali in Francia, e i sondaggi dicono che il Front National sar&agrave; il grande vincitore. Il premier Manuel Valls ha rimproverato i cittadini francesi per la loro passivit&agrave;, e ha detto che gli intellettuali non fanno il loro dovere antifascista. Davvero Manuel Valls ha la faccia come il culo, che fuor di metafora vuol dire che proprio non tiene vergogna. I socialisti francesi come i democratici italiani hanno tradito le loro gi&agrave; pallide promesse di opporsi all&rsquo;oltranzismo austeritario, hanno gestito in prima persona la mattanza sociale, e ora fanno le vittime, si lamentano perch&eacute; il popolo non li segue e gli intellettuali non si impegnano.<br />
Lasciamo perdere gli intellettuali francesi che non esistono pi&ugrave; da almeno venti anni, a meno di considerare Bernard Henri Levy un intellettuale mentre a me pare che si tratti di un imbecille molto pericoloso, come dimostrano le sue campagne a favore dell&rsquo;intervento in Siria e in Libia.<br />
Non so come andranno a finire le elezioni francesi. Quel che so &egrave; che il Front National &egrave; la sola forza politica capace di interpretare i sentimenti prevalenti nel popolo francese: odio nazionalista riemergente contro l&rsquo;arroganza tedesca, e ribellione sociale contro la violenza finanziaria. Un mix inquietante ma potente, che cancella la distinzione tra destra e sinistra.<br />
Non so come andranno le elezioni. Le sorprese sono possibili perch&eacute; il sentimento anti-razzista dei francesi potrebbe alla fine sottrarre al Front National la vittoria. Ma &egrave; improbabile. Solo il movimento sociale che discende dalla tradizione del &rsquo;68 avrebbe potuto rappresentare le ragioni di un europeismo progressista, libertario, egualitario, ma il movimento sociale che discende dalla tradizione del &rsquo;68 non ha pi&ugrave; alcuna credibilit&agrave; almeno a partire dal 2005. In quell&rsquo;anno i francesi (e anche gli olandesi) furono chiamati a votare su un referendum a favore o contro la Costituzione europea che rappresentava la definitiva torsione in senso liberista del progetto europeo. L&rsquo;attenzione si concentr&ograve; sulla questione del mercato del lavoro: per il ceto politico europeo l&rsquo;obiettivo era soggiogare definitivamente il lavoro e ridurne il costo sfruttando il vantaggio della globalizzazione del mercato del lavoro.<br />
Ma i lavoratori francesi (e olandesi) compresero che il s&igrave; a quel referendum avrebbe sancito definitivamente la sottomissione del loro salario alle regole ferree del neo-liberismo: competizione feroce tra i lavoratori, riduzione costante del salario, aumento costante del tempo di lavoro.<br />
Dani Cohn Bendit e Toni Negri insieme si pronunciarono a favore del &ldquo;s&igrave;&rdquo; per il superamento dello Stato-nazione. Questa scelta sanciva l&rsquo;irrilevanza della cultura di origine sessantottina (e della cultura in generale) rispetto ai destini dell&rsquo;Unione, ma soprattutto dimostrava che non avevamo capito cosa fosse l&rsquo;Unione europea. Il discorso anti-sovranista si riduceva a un&rsquo;affermazione puramente formale: opporsi alla cessione di sovranit&agrave; &egrave; regressivo.<br />
E&rsquo; vero, ma a chi si stava cedendo sovranit&agrave;? Non a una forma politica democratica post nazionale, bens&igrave; a un organismo intergovernativo che aveva e ha la sola funzione di imporre gli interessi dell&rsquo;accumulazione di capitale finanziario, e di ridurre in completa soggezione il lavoro. &nbsp;<br />
Dopo il 2005 solo la destra ha finito per rappresentare la resistenza contro la violenza finanziaria.&nbsp; A partire del 2005 &egrave; cos&igrave; iniziata l&rsquo;ascesa del nazionalismo, che si presenta come difesa contro la dittatura finanziaria. I lavoratori francesi (e olandesi) sconfissero l&rsquo;offensiva neoliberista con il sostegno delle forze nazionaliste e delle forze pi&ugrave; retrograde del movimento operaio. Da quel momento in poi solo la destra &egrave; in grado di opporsi alla violenza finanziaria, al prezzo di un&rsquo;altra violenza che rischia di inghiottire il continente.</p>

&ldquo;While our colleagues, friends and comrades in Southern Europe continue to rebel against the depletion and impoverishment policies of the Troika, the ECB moves into its new palace,&rdquo; the&nbsp;FF Blockupy website says.&nbsp;&ldquo;Blockupy moves on to the road. We will make our own move to the new building and give back to the ECB the garbage &ndash; in and with many moving boxes &ndash; that should have been thrown into the dustbin of history: racist and sexist division, impoverishment, privatization of public funds and goods and wars to secure resources.&rdquo;</div>

During the last month, after the victory of Syriza we have been finally obliged to understand the meaning, the nature and the destiny of the European Union.</div>
<div>
&nbsp;</div>
<div>
Aggression against society, predation of social resources, this is the meaning of the Union. Obliteration of democracy is the nature, systemic collapse and civil war the destiny. On March 18th in Frankfurt a demonstration will take place to celebrate the inauguration of the new building of the European Central Bank whose cost is 1.3 billion Euros.<br />
&nbsp;</div>
<div>
Until one month ago my opinion was based on a principle: reclaiming national sovereignty is a reactionary act that opens the way to nationalism. The interesting mission is the transformation of the Union.&nbsp;</div>

<p class="rtejustify">
What follows are various fragments that emerged from the efforts to explore what a <em>radically negative anthropology </em>might be.&nbsp; They were written a number of years ago now and are revived to assist in a rethinking of what the project of a radically negative anthropology might entail, that is if it is not to be abandoned. Pride and egoism had kept them from previously being made public as they are written with the naivety and arrogance that I&rsquo;m sure I will always find in the writings of my younger selves. Further, I had previously sought a level of coherence that was unrealistic, and in fact undesirable. I have now made additions, corrections and further considerations in the footnotes rather than updating the original text as I considered it useful to be able to identify what has changed since they were written and what has not. A very few have been removed entirely as they did little to assist rethinking the project or simply regurgitated tired old motifs. As such there are times when the roman numerals for each section skip forward in the series. I have left the original numbers in order that the removals and absences remain identifiable and are not effaced. Finally, I would ask the reader to approach them with a critical compassion in as much as we may seek out what is useful within these pages, rather than focusing upon their obvious insufficiency and incoherence. To use Deleuze&rsquo;s words, &ldquo;Every time someone puts an objection to me, I want to say: &#39;OK, OK, let&#39;s go on to something else.&#39; Objections have never contributed anything.&rdquo;(1) Let us try and locate points of departure for creative lines of flight rather than obstructive blockages.&nbsp; Let us enter the spaces of and&hellip; and&hellip; and&hellip;, whilst overcoming the not&hellip; not&hellip; not&hellip; Let us not succumb to the pits of nihilistic despair, but read these fragments as active and affirmative free spirits.</p>

<div class="rtejustify">
Here is <u>A Donor Presented by A Saint</u>, attributed to the Flemish painter Dieric Bouts, a painting I have been using as a focal point to play with different material relationships between artworks and texts, to see what this can and cannot tell us about the people who produce them. As an artist and performer my primary interest is in people, and this puts me at the exact point of tension where it is unclear where a person begins and an object ends.</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
&nbsp;</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
I first noticed the painting because of the hovering hand.&nbsp; Why is it there? Who does it belong to?&nbsp; I read the painting&rsquo;s information card and learned that it was cropped from a larger alter-piece, dismantled during the Calvinist Reformation in Belgium.&nbsp; Typical of church paintings at the time the tableau would have been an allegorical lesson from the Bible.&nbsp; The faces of the characters would have been painted by monks in the church&rsquo;s employ, using faces from members of the community for reference - it was not uncommon to see, for example, the face of the local baker masquerading as one of the three wise-men visiting the baby Jesus.&nbsp; The more money a patron donated to the church, the more likely their face would be used to depict a more desirable character, like St. Peter guarding the gates to heaven.</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
&nbsp;</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
How does it feel to have someone&rsquo;s hand resting on your shoulder in that way? How would it feel to see your face painted on the church wall in such intimate proximity to your landlord? Before I read to you I want to try an experiment.&nbsp; Please form a pair with the person sitting in front or behind you.&nbsp; The person in the back should put their hand on the shoulder of the person sitting in front.&nbsp; Please rest your hand on their shoulder and leave it there while I play you a song.</div>

Something new and important happened during the &ldquo;weekend of resistance&rdquo; in St. Louis, Missouri. The event, organized by the campaign group Hands Up United plus a myriad groups from across the US, was billed as four days of civil disobedience, mass protest and debates to respond to the killing of an unarmed 18 year-old by a white police officer on August 9 in Ferguson.</p>
<p class="rtejustify" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1415218663638_14644">
What happened there went beyond the routinely protest against police violence and grotesque militarization of urban space. It entered a deeper confrontation: that taking place between the younger and the older generation of black activists. A generational divide that may probably mark and set the tone for the future fights to come.</p>

On October 12, I was one of the 2,000 people who attended an interfaith rally at St. Louis University&rsquo;s Chaifetz Arena. The event featured noted author Cornel West&nbsp;as keynote speaker, in front of an audience composed by a majority of black people and a numerous contingent of &ldquo;white allies&rdquo; (as they are dubbed in activist circles) cheering at every intervention. It was the &ldquo;American tradition&rdquo; of civil rights movements ready for the usual show-off.</p>

What has become of lovers of knowledge today? What is the fate of those once revered and proud seekers of truth, those honest and upstanding journeymen of essences and universality? The shadows of these lovers of knowledge and wisdom appear to flit across the mirrors in which we seek ourselves, never leaving more than a fleeting impression, a muffled articulation that no sooner has found expression than it once more disintegrates amidst the determined babble of self-assured objection. And these shadows whisper to us of their own demise, of their submission to the systematisation of knowledge as utmost morality that rests never far from the surface of the fa&ccedil;ade which emerges of the demand and insistence for a unitary reality. If there is a philosopher of the future, their voice is meek amidst the uproar of accusation and blame; their gaze powerless when confronted with the piercing eyes of certainty; their will ensnared by the blockages and channels of a continually reinforced spiral of systematisation that sets before it the task of absolute universalisation.</div>

&ldquo;We were both <em>Waldganger</em>.<br />
We preferred the forest to the city.&rdquo;<br />
Albert Hofmann on Ernst J&uuml;nger</p>
<p>
<br />
<strong>103 Years</strong></p>
<p> In 1895, the year Ernst J&uuml;nger was born, Wilhelm II was holding the reins of the German Empire, while Wilhelm Rontgen experimented with the first X-rays machine. In 1998, when J&uuml;nger died at the age of 103, Pathfinder had already landed on Mars and Google was about to launch its campaign to conquer the digital world. In the course of his life, fit for a Biblical patriarch, J&uuml;nger survived two world wars, twice witnessed the passage of the Halley comet, and took part to the full unfolding of modernity. Yet, it would be fair to say that he was scarcely ever there. Whether fleeing to the Algerian desert, fighting in the mud in La Somme, or secluded in his hermitage in High Swabia, J&uuml;nger shared with monks and dandies the ability to be in the world, while remaining at an observant distance from it. He was a theoretician in the original meaning of the word: in a contemplative position even in the heat of battle.</p>
<p> It was as if sliding along an orbit around the present that J&uuml;nger managed to turn his perspective almost at 360 degrees, moving from the revolutionary conservatism of his youth, to the extreme existential anarchism of his old age. It was also for this reason that my first encounter with his work left me at once fascinated and skeptical. J&uuml;nger, the anarcho-nazi? How could anyone take this man seriously?<br />
Yet, how could I remain indifferent to the flying architecture of his prose, the blade of his thinking, and the charm of his life? I learned to love J&uuml;nger against my ingrained ideological judgement, like a slowly acquired taste. Over the years I&rsquo;ve kept returning to J&uuml;nger&rsquo;s toolbox, and every time, without fail, I&rsquo;ve found in it new weapons and methods to apply to my own existence.</p>

This is where I was. Images taken not for their image; the file data from walking around the West Bank in 2012, a month before Pillar of Smoke started in Gaza, of spending weeks lying on my back looking at planes under the Jordan flight path, stupidly thinking they were drones. Or getting up at 5 in the morning to get a bus somewhere to go for a walk, either with people or without people. Of going to 5<sup>th</sup> Century AD Greek Orthodox monasteries that ISIS would be burning today if they were there. Of badly avoiding being a tourist or NGO worker in one place and an interloping gentile in the other. Of not wanting to take any sense of identity with me, either as a colonial and especially as a privileged artist/ hired gun.</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
&nbsp;</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
Images taken because of I have always distrusted the image and not because of the cultural value in critiquing the occupation of Palestine, or the cultural value in discussing remote controlled surveillance and targeted assassinations. Distrusting an image is one of the few rights that I have as a person and it is both my responsibility and job when I have to call myself an artist. Those positions are not immutable or fixed, and neither, I - or my emotions - are fixed. I wish I could be a better, more objective conceptual artist who is coolly detached from the shit of the world but that would be a lie. What is underneath the surface of an image or embedded into it is a part-rejection and a part-suspension of things, it started by rejecting the social pandemic of the question or assumption that in an image: quantity of labour equals quality of an argument. The social/ cultural obsession with production, labour, sheen and veneer... Now, the labour is in the data of an image.</div>

Negli anni &rsquo;50 e &rsquo;60 mio padre portava a casa ogni giorno L&rsquo;Unit&agrave;. Dopo il &rsquo;68 lessi altri giornali, e L&rsquo;Unit&agrave; mi divenne sempre pi&ugrave; antipatico, poi il movimento del 1977 ebbe nell&rsquo;Unit&agrave; un avversario, spesso sleale. Quel giornale attacc&ograve; il movimento di studenti ed emarginati fino ad&nbsp; accusarlo di squadrismo.

La chiusura di quel giornale provoca in me un sentimento di tristezza immensa: un mondo che potevo capire, con cui potevo interagire polemicamente &egrave; cancellato da un mondo opaco che non &egrave; pi&ugrave; comprensibile secondo le categorie della lotta di classe, ma neppure secondo le categorie della democrazia e della razionalit&agrave; politica, e forse neppure secondo le categorie dell&rsquo;umanesimo e dell&rsquo;umanit&agrave;.</div>

&nbsp;</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
I would like to discuss anxiety and its relationship with work today, from a philosophical perspective. I will examine anxiety as connected to the problem of hospitality, and particularly to broken hospitality, then I will explore the changes that the traditional concept of hospitality has undergone under the current condition of Nihilism. It will be in the field of Nihilism that I will explore the connections between anxiety and contemporary work. Finally, I will try to look for a philosophical alternative.</div>
<div class="rtejustify">
Before starting, I must acknowledge two debts. Most of the first part of this talk derives from a conversation I had with my friend and fellow writer Robert Prouse, whom I would like to thank. The final part of this talk, on the other hand, has been very influenced by the poet Lucy Mercer, and I would like to thank her for that.</div>
